Preparing for a professional career takes years, but often, parents look to tennis academies for a short-term sprint of improvement to help the player get the attention of college coaches. Does this work? http://www.tennisrecruiting.net/article.asp?id=914 Fri, 5 Mar 2010 05:00:00 -0500 In light of the extensive publicity about the price of a college education - some states have raised their tuition over 70% over the past ten years - it is sad that more families do not consider local community or junior colleges as a great option.
